"When a round struck me in the head, wounding me, much of my equipment was destroyed, including my bulletproof vest and uniform. I reached out many times to support channels to have these items replaced, but they were unable to tell me when or if I will receive them at all. I also tried to purchase the equipment, but multiple companies said they cannot ship until February. Thanks again for the support; it is greatly appreciated."

"During an Afghanistan rotation, our mission was nighttime helicopter assaults against Taliban commanders. Our team was tasked with establishing a forward operations base, and we immediately realized we lacked the ability to store blood properly for long-term operations. We reached out to Troops Direct, and within 10 days, received an electric cooler that we could plug into our trucks to maintain whole blood for the duration of the operation."

"The organization you run is—bar none—the real support soldiers need. The bags you sent us were put to use immediately, carrying about 100 lbs of weight. The equipment definitely increased our load-bearing capabilities and reduced the fatigue on our war fighters."
